What is the Forum activity?
The Forum activity allows students and teachers to exchange ideas by posting comments as part of a 'thread'. Files such as images and media maybe included in forum posts. The teacher can choose to grade and/or rate forum posts and it is also possible to give students permission to rate each other's posts.
How is it set up?
- In a course, with the editing turned on, choose 'Forum' from the activity chooser.
- Give it a name and, if needed, a description.
- Choose your Forum type, clicking the question mark (?) icon for descriptions of each type. If you're unsure, use the default Standard forum for general use.
- Expand the other sections to define the settings you want. For more help, see Forum settings
- Click Save and display and, optionally, add a post to get started.
